Hello,
I'd like to know what is the order of the grades. Is a colonel more important than a lieutenant? than a corporal? etc...
who order who? What are the links between each rank?
--[[User:Torn|Torn]] 12:17, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

:Hi Torn. The grades are in the correct order, in terms of importance. Jacques based the hares on World War II British Navy I believe, so in terms of relevance, that' the link. Higher levels infer more responsibility. --[[User:LordTBT|LordTBT]] 15:05, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

The Airforce actually

== long Patrol ==

Didn't it say in Lord Brocktree that bucko Bigbones and his hares would become a northern part of the Long Patrol? [[Special:Contributions/68.211.80.9|68.211.80.9]] 17:00, 25 May 2009 (UTC)Blizzard6654

Not that I recall. --[[User:Martin2|Martin II]] [[Image:wiki.png|45px ]][[User Talk:Martin2|Talk!]] 17:38, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

I remember him saying that he would make a Northern branch. Though if we were to make a section about it, only he would probably be listed. ---[[User:Clockworthy|Clockworthy]] [[Image:Madmaudie.jpg| 70px]] [[User talk:Clockworthy |From Clockworth to Eternity, or wherever my stories lie]] 22:38, November 9, 2009 (UTC)

What makes thistledown and starbob significant as archers? True they were archers, but that was not a designated position like Galloper, and they were not exclusively archers. Additionally, many of the LP hares in ''Salamandastron'' were archers, and no extra importnace was plced on these two's archery {{unsigned|99.98.209.91|03:05, May 28, 2010}}

== Article Problem ==

The discussion page on the book Long Patrol links to the discussion page on the Salamandastron force. [[User: Taggerung of Redwall|Taggerung Warrior of Redwall]] 04:23, August 20, 2011 (UTC)

== Names ==

For the article names of these hares, should the rank be included in the bold or not? [[Dorothea Duckfontein Dillworthy]] and [[Bucko Bigbones]] are examples of both of these.
Also, should the rank be included in the title of the article? (see [[Brigadier Thyme]]) [[User:The Fivemole|The Fivemole]] [[Image:Grumm.jpg|60px]] [[Message_Wall:The Fivemole|Burr Aye, Gurt Zurrs!!]] 03:38, September 27, 2012 (UTC)

== Rank question ==
Where does Marshall stand in the ranks? Is it higher up than Colonel? Just wondering. I'm not saying to add it, because Meldrum Fallowthorn was the only Marshall I can remember. And was he evenin the Long Patrol wasn't he in a specialized unit or something?

:Meldrum was not a member of the Long Patrol, so this does not apply. -- [[User:LordTBT|LordTBT]] [[Image:Tbtico.jpg]] [[Message_Wall:LordTBT|Talk!]] 04:11, July 12, 2015 (UTC)

::Well, if he wasn't, then what group was he in? I mean, he kind of had to be, if he was a Field Marshall. -- --[[User:Snowstripe the Fierce|You're always welcome at my mountain. [[file:Defenders.jpg]]]] ([[User talk:Snowstripe the Fierce|talk]]) 17:19, July 13, 2015 (UTC)

:::As a rule of thumb, we don't assume things on articles here. Having rank does not necessarily one a Long Patroller make. Why would being a Field Marshal have anything to do with the Long Patrol? "Field Marshal" was never mentioned to be a rank in the Long Patrol, hence:
::
::::*Assumption: Field Marshal is a rank in the Long Patrol.
::
::::*Conclusion: Therefore, being the Field Marshal that he is, this by default implies that Meldrum is a member of the Long Patrol.
::
::::*Assumption: Meldrum is a member of the Long Patrol. Meldrum is a Field Marshal.
::
::::*Conclusion: Therefore, Field Marshal must be a rank in the Long Patrol.
::
:::Do you notice a common trend in this reasoning?
::
:::Between you'n me, the rank apparently was self-bestowed, just as he had fabricated the events of battles he'd been in, and the medals corresponding to each battle were also invented on the fly. He was consistently shown to be a comedic fraud in the book, and no mention in the book is ever made to provide for him having served in the Long Patrol.

Ohhh. Now that makes sense. After re-reading ''the Bellmaker'', I noticed he referred to his nephews as his troops, and he ave all his medals and awards to himself. --[[User:Snowstripe the Fierce|Snowstripe]] [[Image:Urthstripe.jpg| 45px | ]][[User talk:Snowstripe the Fierce|You're always welcome at my mountain.]] 12:46, August 20, 2015 (UTC)

I'd ''swear'' the Long Patrol was at least ''mentioned'' by Rosie or Tarquin... [[User:Alderjack the Treescamp|Alderjack the Treescamp]] ([[User talk:Alderjack the Treescamp|talk]]) 15:47, May 6, 2017 (UTC)

Books

I'm pretty sure the lp is mentioned in "The Bellmaker" what with Hon Rosie, the other redwall hare dude and the other hare down south who had relatives in the long patrol or something. I don't know for sure though.... [[User:Bludrigg|Bludrigg]] ([[User talk:Bludrigg|talk]]) 00:21, May 11, 2017 (UTC)
